Chapter 233: Helping Each Other
The papers published Natalie’s victory on the front page. The engagement announcement of a popular star took the top half, but still, Natalie’s victory managed to find its place on the first page.
Although Marcella tried to stay away from photographers, some had captured her with Natalie as she was leaving the courthouse. Since Natalie was very grateful to Marcella, a picture of Marcella with Natalie was printed with the news.
They had mentioned her as the youngest congressman Antony Crawford’s wife and Marcella liked that.
That evening, she received news from D.C. that Beth went to meet Tony. Tony called her that night and talked for hours not letting her sleep. He mentioned nothing about Beth.
The next day, however, she got a rare call from Beth. Beth told her that she had a break after her shoot ended in West Virginia and so she went to meet her in D.C.
"I am in NY, now," Marcella said. "What a waste! You could have called me first. Then you could have seen me. It’s the same distance..."
"Something happened," Beth started to whisper completely ignoring Marcella’s previous statement.
"What?" Marcella too whispered.
"On my way to the airport, my taxi met with an accident," Beth said.
"Oh, no! Are you okay?" Marcella asked.
"No, I am fine. It’s... It was nothing. But..."
"But what? Beth, are you okay?" Marcella asked concerned.
